I've been noticing a lot of abuse of this recently. In fact, there was one discussion I was just reading about bariatric surgery in which every post but two had at least one flag, and the OP had three flags for asking people's opinions on getting it done!0

I see that this was flagged. I currently have 7 flags from talking about or mentioning flags in my posts. I'm wondering when the hilarity will wear off for those who think this is funny.

I think there might be a few too many teenagers in our midst. ....

The real hilarity is the people complaining that users will abuse the function because they dislike what another user said have since become the flaggers. The butthurt is REAL.0

Got two off the boards today. Yeah.0

They are at it again. I'm on my nightly tradition of going through every board and flagging the spam before bed.1

There is someone who is selecting abuse flags everytime certain users post. I really think that type of harassment should be cut down on. Most of the posts are no where near abusive. It makes flagging actual abusive posts a joke...3

And this brings me to 10 total flags. 9 of those are from talking about the flagging feature.

ignore them. It's just the immature teens on the boards who've got nothing better or constructive to do with their lives

Mostly I'm just posting so that I can keep track for future reference since there's no easy way to see which of our posts are flagged.

I'm at 10 spam/abuse flags myself. Funny, because I've never posted anything spammy or against the rules before. Seems that whenever someone mentions the flagging feature being misused, someone has to flag it.

What about the MFP-sponsored ads that are spam???? It's hypocritical to flag member spam but not MFP spam! (and I don't post spam, by the way - I hate all of the ads).1
-
I saw a post with every comment with 2 flags because people just didn't agree with each other. Not sure this feature is that good if it can be misused like that =/ Would be better if members weren't allowed on the forums until being a member for a certain amount of time and even than limited to a couple posts a day for a while while still being able to read the information.1

I've actually had a huge problem with malicious ads on here lately! My Java update didn't remove its previous version, and the ads were (I am assuming) taking advantage of that security loophole on my computer. Problem only started happening recently. I was having awful issues with redirects, and eventually one redirect automatically downloaded something onto my computer. The ads on here really make me nervous now. I get a lot of strange "AdChoices" automated ads that are for spam or sites that look like viruses, and they definitely don't reflect my browsing history.0 -

Limiting posts would take the fun out of the forums. I do think that a time limit like other sites do would be helpful. Most spambots make throwaway accounts for that reason.
